Vaclav Cerny's goal against FCSB at Ibrox has been singled out in UEFA's Europa League 'Goal of the Day' poll, alongside Manchester United star Cristian Eriksen.
Posted to the competition's official X (formerly Twitter) account, the first of Cerny's brace – which made it 2-0 to Rangers, on a night they'd hit four without reply – has been hand-picked alongside the Utd man's goal in a 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce.
Roma's Baris Alper Yilmaz also features having hit the net against Elfsborg; so too does Bodo Glimt's Villads Nielson, whose 94th minute goal saw his side overcome Braga 2-1 away from home.

Speaking after the full-time whistle, the Rangers Reviews' Chris Jack said this of Cerny's input on the night:
"The opening goal was carved out by Cerny as a neat touch in the right channel was followed by a cutback to the edge of the area. The strike from Lawrence could have been crisper but it mattered little as he took his tally for the term to five.
"The effort from Cerny that doubled the lead was certainly a lot sweeter. The Czech capitalised on more slack Bucharest play to win the ball in the final third and then produced a lovely right-foot finish that curled inside Stefan Tarnovanu’s post. It was a moment that Cerny is capable of producing more often."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
